About Louis Armstrong House

The Louis Armstrong House is a historic house museum at 34-56 107th Street in the Corona neighborhood of Queens in New York City. It was the home of Louis Armstrong and his wife Lucille Wilson from 1943 until his death in 1971. Lucille gave ownership of it to the city of New York in order to create a museum focused on her husband.

The house was designated a New York City Landmark in 1988 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.

The home is part of the Louis Armstrong House Museum, a non-profit organization and three-building campus encompassing the historic home, the Armstrong Center and Selma's Place. The museum presents concerts, educational programs, community programs, and makes its archival collection of writings, books, recordings and memorabilia available to the public for research. The Louis Armstrong House Museum is a winner of the 2024 National Medal for Museums and Library Service from the Institute for Museum and Library Services. In September 2025, the Louis Armstrong House Museum became part of the city's Cultural Institutions Group, a partnership of cultural and educational institutions.
